i knew ronald reagan and respected ronald reagan. this is the obama derangement syndrome you just heard word for word. the idea that president obama admits he experimented with drugs, the only difference between him and george w. bush is he admits it and bush denied it. look where he is today, look what he's accomplished in his lifetime, look at his policies as president and tell me where you disagree with him, rather than, which this guy just did, that's the book, go after him personally. they cannot help themselves. host: michael savage, radio talk show host, you quote him saying "president obama is more of a terrorist than hugo chavez." guest: what can i say? how can you stoop to that level? i think they lose all credibility at that point. when you say something so outrageous. tom cradle also said he thought barack obama was more dangerous than al qaeda. now, sure, there are crazies like our last caller who are going to believe that but i think most of the american people know that's just nonsense. host: there is a narrative. gues
